Kwashiorkor primarily affects young children, particularly those between the ages of 1 to 5 years, who are weaned from breast milk and do not receive adequate protein in their diets. However, it can also occur in older children and adults in cases of severe malnutrition or food scarcity. The condition is most prevalent in areas with limited access to nutritious food and is often associated with a lack of dietary diversity.

What age group was affected the most by the potato famine?
The potato famine, which struck Ireland in the mid-19th century, affected all age groups, but the elderly and young children were particularly vulnerable. Many older adults suffered from malnutrition and related diseases due to their weakened health. Young children were also at a higher risk of mortality due to their dependency on the potato as a staple food source, leading to increased rates of starvation and illness in this demographic. Overall, the impact was devastating across the population, but these age groups were disproportionately affected.
